Story

My beautiful darling boy Ralph is 3yrs old and has been diagnosed with epilepsy one side effect from his neurological condition which he was born with. His seizure’s first started when he was 1yrs old and I count ourselves lucky that due to his medication his seizures are currently few and far in between but as he grows they creep in more and more and change how they present. We’ve been told they will get worse as he’s older and he will need to live with this condition forever.

I want to help raise money for this charity which I feel doesn’t get loads of air time and also raise awareness for the condition in general. Over 600,000 people in the uk are living with this condition , which is 1 in 100 people. Every day 70 people are diagnosed with this condition and it’s mainly children or adults over 60.

For those of you who know me are aware I’m going to find this very hard physically (I’m definitely not at my fittest) and also finding the time to do it- but I will! Please help me raise money and awareness by donating and cheering me along in this challenge. 🩷
